I am so sorry to hear about these pimples like eruptions that you have reported. Seeing them is very important in establishing the cause and making helpful recommendations. I will suggest that you whatsapp an image for review before I provide more definitive responses.

I have seen the image and this is just a pimple.
The following measures will definitely help:
a. Wash the affected area once or twice daily with salicylic acid soap ( available as Acnelak) and water. This is to remove excess oil from the skin.
b. Don’t scrub as this worsens your acne.
c. Apply Benzaclin ointment in the day time. This will help treat the pimples
d. At night, apply 0.1% adapalene gel on the affected area.
e. If it still does not become better, please see a dermatologist for a prescription of oral antibiotics like doxycycline, azithromycin etc.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
